Flat Roofing in Fleet, Hampshire

Have you noticed water sitting on your flat roof days after the rain has stopped? In the trade, we call this 'ponding,' and it's usually a sign that things aren't quite right. Most homeowners we speak to in Fleet only realise there's a problem when they see a damp patch appearing on the ceiling. Traditional bitumen felt roofs often struggle as they age, becoming brittle and cracking under the sun. We specialise in modern, high-performance systems that move away from those old-fashioned weak points. We don't just patch things up; we look at the root cause, whether it's poor drainage or a failing substrate, to ensure your home stays protected for the long haul.

If you're looking for a 'fit and forget' solution, EPDM rubber roofing is hard to beat. It's a single-ply membrane that’s incredibly flexible, meaning it won't crack or split when the temperature changes—which happens a lot around here! One of the biggest perks is its longevity; a properly installed EPDM roof can last upwards of 50 years. We often recommend this for residential extensions and larger flat roof areas because it's lightweight and exceptionally durable. It's a smart investment that saves you the headache of frequent repairs down the line.

Imagine a roof with no joins, no seams, and nowhere for water to creep in. That’s exactly what you get with GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) fibreglass. It’s applied as a cold liquid that cures into a single, tough-as-nails sheet. It's particularly popular with our customers in Elvetham Heath and Church Crookham for balconies or roofs that might see a bit of foot traffic. Not only does it look sleek and modern, but it’s also incredibly difficult to damage. We take great care with the upstands and edgings to make sure the finish is as aesthetically pleasing as it is waterproof.

Don't mistake modern torch-on felt for the stuff used thirty years ago. Today's high-performance elastomeric membranes are a completely different beast. They're reinforced with polyester, making them much more resilient to the elements. We find these systems are a fantastic, cost-effective choice for garage roofs and outbuildings across Fleet. When we install a new felt roof, we use a three-layer system to ensure maximum protection, giving you a reliable finish without breaking the bank.
